Speaker Carlisle Preparing for tho Open
ing Sessions of Congress-.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Speaker Car
Isle has been in the city for several days,
and is here to remain until after con
gress convenes. The Thoebe contest for
his seat in congress is generally regarded
as insignificant, and no one questions Mr..
Carlisle's election as speaker of the
hiftieth congress. He is hopeful of pass
ing a tariff bill this session, and has de-
voted considerable energy to that end.
He has had several talks with the presi-
dent since his arrival here Members are
commencing to come to Washington now,
many have matters to discuss with
him. He has to think about the forma-
ton of the committees of the house, and
there are many other matters to occupy
his attention, SC that ne will have as
much as he can do up to the opening of
congress. Some think that he win be
able 10 announce his committees before
the holidays, but it is hardly likely that
he can. The rules have to be adopted
and there is likely to be a fight over them
that will take up some time. Besides, a
hundred new members make it difficult
to fix the committees.

Charged With Killing His Rival.
BLooMISaToN, ILL.,, Nov. 1s.-Much in
terest has been manifested all day over
the murder in Normal of John Smart. a
eolored man, who was shot on the pub
lie street q few steps from the door of the
house where he had spent the evening
with Anna Crawford, his lady love. 1t
was found on examination that he had
been shot directly through the neck with
a heavy charge of buckshot at a short
range, the wound presenting an opening
as large as a large walnut. Two
men. were arrested on suspicion,
both colored - Ike Crawford and
Anderson Duff, two citizens
OF Normal, both of whom are married.
Crawford is an uncle of the girl, and
was violently opposed to her marriage.
Duff, a sanctimonious fellow, has been
manifesting unusual interest in the girl,
and recently bought her dresses. The
inquest was held, and as a result Duff
was held for the murder, and Crawford
was acquitted. DufT's gun, which was
loaded last night, was found empty this
morning, and other strong evidence was
brought out against him. Duff has for
years been looked upon as a model OF the
thrifty, welI-to-do colored citizen.
